President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.

Following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire, initial U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan in April failed to reach a peace deal.

Trump later announced the open-ended extension of the ceasefire and the continuation of a U.S. blockade until negotiations are concluded "one way or the other."

UKMTO reports new maritime incident off Omani coast

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) Centre said on Thursday that a fire had been reported in the engine room of a tanker off the coast of Oman.

Local authorities reported the incident occurred about 20 nautical miles northeast of Sohar, Oman, the UKMTO warning said. There were no reports of casualties or environmental damage.

The latest maritime incident comes one day after three Indian sailors aboard the M/T Settebello oil tanker were killed by a U.S. strike.

U.S. Central Command said the Palau-flagged vessel violated its ongoing blockade by attempting to transport oil from Iran.

The U.S. fired precision munitions at the ship's engine room "after the crew repeatedly failed to comply with directions from American forces," CENTCOM said in a post to X.

Sarbananda Sonowal, India's shipping minister, confirmed the "deeply unfortunate" incident in a post to X and said that the bodies of the three seafarers were recovered.

Iranian body says Strait of Hormuz 'completely closed' following latest strikes

The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) -- a newly created Iranian entity set up to manage shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and charge fees for vessels transiting the waterway -- said in a post on X on Friday that the Strait would be closed "until further notice."

The PGSA's announcement comes after U.S. Central Command denied reports of the Strait's closure overnight.

The PGSA cited "tensions caused by the aggressive U.S. forces" and an announcement by the Iranian armed forces for the decision to close the waterway. It asked "applicants who have obtained transit permits to remain patient and await further notice."

Tehran says overnight US strikes render ceasefire 'meaningless'

Iran's Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Thursday condemning overnight U.S. attacks as a "flagrant violation" of international law that "effectively rendered the April 8 ceasefire meaningless."

According to the statement published by the official Islamic Republic News Agency, the ministry warned that the U.S. administration would bear responsibility for the "extremely dangerous consequences" resulting from any escalation.
